Default New here: Hey guys

Just introducing myself. I beleive I will be one of the younger members of the forum, at 18, when I do get my LS in the coming months. I live in Rhode Island, so if anyone knows of any good deals on an LS around new england you could let me know, I'm not asking people to search for me like i have seen on here, i can use cars.com and autotrader, just looking for maybe a good deal someone saw somewhere. I'm looking for a black exterior with the saddle interior i beleive its called, i can't remeber the name off the top of my head. I'm looking for an ultra luxury edition but i'm trying to keep it under $30k if thats possible. Mileage is not really a factor as long as it was well maintained. Right now i own a 2003 lincoln LS that i can post pictures of if anyone is interested, i doubt it though, I'm looking to upgrade to something with more luxury and more features, and most of all reliability, i'm done with american cars. Sorry for the long post that really has no point to it, just figured i'd introduce myself and I look forward to adding to the forum as i learn more and more about these cars.

Welcome, Young Buddy!

The Saddle leather interior -- which does exist -- is actually a rare find. Perhaps you meant or were trying to recall the "Cashmere" leather interior, which is kind of a beige? That's what I have in my Black Onyx exterior '04, and I love it. Good luck in your search -- it will be well worth it!

This seems to be a great deal for an 04 NAV with that (IMO very ugly) saddle leather seats:

51k on the odometer, and "SUPER LOW BUY IT NOW PRICE of: $31,995"
